I am trying to get a effect of a camera taking a picture (flash effect) in my movie. I am using the glare effect but it is extremely slow in the actual glare transition. I was wondering how I can get the effect of a camera taking a picture. Also is their a way that I can adjust all the transitions I put in?

G'day Bobby -

Using the Glare transition is a good way to do it.

In Preferences, set your transitions to about 0.6 (00:00:00:12) - 0.7 seconds (00:00:00:20) - no longer than 1 second. If you also add a camera click sound it will improve the effect.

Example & sound effect attached.

Cheers - Tony

Awesome. Just added it into the video and looks great. I thought that the .6 sec. was a little too long still so I shortened it to .5 but anything under that was pretty hard to move to where I wanted it to. Thanks for the help!
